Part of final preparation for Christmas included making a couple of gift card holders. I didn't get around to posting these before Christmas, but here they are now. These are the two different styled ones I made. I was inspired by Amy Koenders. Both use the Envelope Punch Board.

This first one is a sliding gift card.

This is the inside of the other one which is a smaller and simpler version.

Here is my take on one of the cards we made at the Christmas Extravaganza in November. The card was created and taught by Paula Reid and Heather. I finally got around to making some more at home. You can see their original card here.

I have this Wishing You stamp set so I was able to use it, but I had to make a few minor changes. I don't have the Decorative Label punch they used, so I used my Framelit Label Dies instead. I also made use of the green ribbon I had which was different ribbon to the original card. The one on the left features Old Olive ribbon which is possibly retired. The card on the right features Gumball Green Stitched Satin Ribbon.

I loved the layout of this card, the bright Real Red colour, as well as learning a new technique - The emboss resist with a twist technique. We only embossed part of the front and left part of it smooth so we could
stamp an image.

These are some boxes I made for my Music Box team to thank them for their work this year. Music Box is a music and movement session for toddlers and their mums/caregivers, similar to Mainly Music.

What did I put inside? It neatly fits 6 treat sized Whittakers bars.

These boxes were inspired by Tanya Bell. They are easy to make once you know how. They only use one piece of 12" x 12" DSP and some extra card for the belly band. My Simply Scored Tool came in very handy for making this box. And once again the Label Love stamp set and Artisan punch have been very useful to decorate the belly band.Thanks for stopping by.Angela

Yesterday afternoon I had my final monthly weekend class for the year and one of the cards we created was a card using the Colour Me Christmas stamp set and the new Thinlit Card Dies. I made it with an extended flap so that there is more room to write a message.
